About Skeleton Key
Skeleton Key, Artifact — equipment, designed by Daniel Ljunggren first released in Apr, 2016 in the set Shadows over Innistrad. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.78.
This card would be beneficial in a deck that focuses on evasion and card advantage, such as a tempo or aggro-control deck. While Skeleton Key provides a way to make your creatures harder to block and generates card advantage, there may be better options like Sword of Fire and Ice or Sword of Feast and Famine which offer additional powerful effects. Whether Skeleton Key should see play would depend on the specific strategy and synergy of the deck, but it could be a solid inclusion in the right build.
Rules
04/08/16
Skulk matters only as blockers are chosen. Modifying either creature’s power after blockers are chosen won’t cause the attacking creature to become unblocked.
